Now onto my card, it is a very simple card and took me 20 mins to complete it. to begin I took a white textured cardstock and did some ink blending with just 2 distress inks - Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. I splattered some water and lifted some color off. I heat set this and then I did the waves using Modelling paste and Papericious Frosting Powder. I heat set everything and then stamped my sentiment using Archival Ink Black. the slippers are fussy cut from Red cardstock and it was fun to sketch and cut something out. I used my white gel pen to do the straps. I matter this panel with a Kraft cardstock and then mounted it on a standard A2 size white cardbase. Finished my card with some sequins from Mudra stamps.
I hope you like this quick and easy card....super fun and easy to make.

I used the embossed resist technique for making this card. I white heat embossed all my little roses and leaves which are from the Mudra Wishing You stamp set. then I did a little distress ink blending using Spun sugar, Shaded Lilac, Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron.

I made a triple stamped card by diecutting 3 dies from Sspellbinders Nestabilities Scalloped Labels 1. Then, I also diecut white cardstock using same dies. The then trimmed the diecuts I cut from my front panel so that I could add them on the white mats. The largest one is flat, while the second one has a little dimension to it while the smallest has dimension foam behind it. I layed the entire panel on silver glitter cardstcok and then mounted everything on white standard A2 size cardbase (270gsm).

I added the sentiment on clear vellum with Black Achival ink and cut little banner ends. Finished my card with lots of sequins which are all from Mudra. My client requested a lot of sparkle and sequins and I was more than happy to oblige.......

Wishing you Safe Travels - See through shaker card.

Hello all  you wonderful people
Today I have a card for you. I have got really addicted to watercoloring technique and am making as many as I can. So this card is again for a special reason....I have a workout friend who is leaving for USA forever and Monday is her last last with us. So this one is for you Upasana.... I have know her only for a month...and got attached to her...you just connect so easily with some people. She was all emotional and so I have used a sentiment very carefully for this card.....I cleverly swapped a Farewell or W'll miss you with a "Wishing you Safe Travels"

The inspiration for this card comes from Tulle Shaker Cards by Jennifer Mcguire and you can know more about this by clicking the link HERE. I really loved the way she used Tulle...but I have used Clear acetate instead. So this my first try at this type of shaker card and it surely is fun.

So more on to my card, I stamped and heat embossed some flowers, buds and leaves on a watercolor cardstock using some Clear embossing powder. I used distress inks to watercolors all my images and once they dried, I fussy cut them out.

 To make this panel, I started with a standard A2 size card base(A) and 1 white cardstock piece cut to A2 size (B). I stacked them and arranged my spellbinders die and ran it thrice through my bigshot. Then, I cut a acetate sheet bigger than my frame and box folded it in half (Basically it helped me to give room for the shaker elements to move freely inside the window  I have just folded the acetate instead of using 2 pieces so there is no tape on the exposed side. Also, I gave it a small 1/8" gap between the 2 folds lining my edges. I hope I am able to convey well. Rest 3 sides are sealed with dimension foam..) I filled my window with some fun sequins, flowers and clear sparkle from Papericious and then sealed it with foam tape on 3 sides. I adhered this shaker window to my A panel carefully so that one no foam tape is visible from any where and the shaker window is correctly lined up on the edge. The frame is rhombus in shape but the shaker panel is square inside.

Then added more foam tape everwhere else and added the B part over it carefully.I added little black splatters on the front panel using black watercolor and then started layering my flowers and leaves. I did stamp my buds with Memento Dye ink by masking off the flowers and buds and quickly watercolored them as well.
Finished my card with the sentiment stamped with Black dye ink on white cardstock and sqeuins.
I hope you all like my card and will try it out.

That finished my card. I have a small shaker video for it and you can watch it to see how fun this is.

Hello everyone
I am back today with yet another watercolor card but I have also used watercolor pencils this time. I did do a watercolor card yesterday and I got a lot of positive comments and reactions from a lot of crafters. So it really motivated me to do some more and this is one of the 2 cards I did today.

I am putting this card up at the following blog challenges

1. Craft Addition Challenge - challenge #6 - Flowers flowers and yet more flowers
2. Dl.ART - June Linky Challenge - Anything Goes

I started with heat embossing all the floral images I wanted to use on a watercolor cardstock (I do not have a fancy watercolor paper...just some local made) using Super fine Clear embossing powder from Ranger.

Then, I taped it to a writing pad I have using some washi tape and started watercoloring using distress inks. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Abondoned coral for the flowers and bud and Crushed olive and Twisted Cirton for the leaves.
I did color some more flowers in shades of purples and I will do another post and tell you more about them there.

Then, did add some depth to my flowers and leaved using some watercolor pencils....again not very fancy...I have old FabelCastle pencils...and I used Red, Orange, Yellow, Light and Dark Greens...Just basic colors. Once everything was air dried, I fussy cut them out.

I started with a 5.5" square card base (White Cardstock 270gsm). I then diecut a frame from a silver glitter cardstock using Spellbinders Nestabilites Scalloped Labels One using the largest die from a 5 1/4" square glitter cardstock. I then adhered this frame to the cardbase using some foam tape to give some dimension.

Then I started adding my flowers, buds and leaves to the card creating some layers. Added few of then with foam dots to create layers.
Thata all, I finishes my card with few sequins from Harvest Mix from Mudra and added my sentiment using some Momento Tuxedo Black ink. The sentiment used is from Mudra stamps Wishing you stamp set.
